Chapter 189
You think you can rake in 3 million? Lizetta, you’re really just putting on a show, aren’t you? You never planned to leave the Dashiell family, did you?”
Hanna was dripping with disdain. Lizetta had n er even worked a day in her life, just a leech on the family.
Without the Dashiell family, where would Lizetta come up with 3 million? It was all just playing hard to get.
Hanna never hid her dislike and contempt for Lizetta. In her eyes, Lizetta was like from rags to riches – why would she let go so easily?
Lizetta knew this all too well and tried to stay cool and collected, “Don’t worry. I signed the divorce papers, which means I’m determined to go through with it.”
But Hanna was still skeptical, “Swear on your life.”
Lizetta laughed, “Believe it or not, it’s up to you. I don’t have to make you believe me. I’m here to see Joseph today. If you don’t have anything else, I’ll be on my way.”
As Lizetta turned to leave, Hanna grabbed her, taunting her, “You’re too scared to swear! Showing your true colors now, aren’t you?”

Lizetta frowned, “There’s no need to provoke me. If you don’t believe my
makes no difference. The deadline Remington and I agreed upon is just over ten days away. Chill out, you’ll see what happens soon enough.
But if you keep pestering me, and I get all riled up and change my mind, don’t blame me if I decide not to go through with the divorce.”
“You’re threatening me?!” Hanna was furious.
Lize… pulled her hand away, “If that’s what you think, then so be it.”
Hanna watched Lizetta, feeling a lump in her chest. She was nothing like the docile, compromising daughter–in–law from before. She seemed serious this time.
But the Dashiell family could kick her out, turn her into an outcast. Lizetta, a pitiful creature raised by the Dashiell family, acting all high and mighty as if the family was some kind of hellhole?
Hanna was extremely uncomfortable and took a deep breath before nodding, “If that’s the case, then there’s no need to wait another ten days. Here’s the 3 million I’ve prepared. Contact Remington now and go to City Hall to get the paperwork done.”
She pulled out a bank card from her bag and handed it to Lizetta, who glanced at it and shook her head, “I don’t need it.”
“Oh, you don’t need it, or is it that you really don’t plan on getting a divorce? Lizetta, if it hadn’t been for the Dashiell family taking you in 14 years ago, you’d probably be dead in a ditch

www You should be grateful and know your place

You and Remington were fever in the same league, and if it wasn’t for the disgraceful thing you did four years ago, and the way you charmed and deceived Fiona into taking your side, would you have become Mrs. Dashiell?
Lizetta had always known what Hanna thought ind that most people probably shared her opinion
But she didn’t realize just how ugly and hurtful those words could sound coming from Hannel’s mouth, and how much she couldn’t bear them. Her complexion turned pale, her hands clenched, and she reiterated.
I will get a divorce, and I’m not taking your card because Remington and I agreed that I would pay back this money with my own abilities, not by playing tricks to stall for time. Rest assured, even if I have to draw my blood, sell my organs or beg on the streets, I will pay back every penny of those 2 million
Her clear eyes reddened, but they were filled with determination.
Hanna looked at Lizetta, and after a moment, she smirked slightly, tucking the card back into her purse, “Alright, I’ll take your word for it this time. Just don’t go back to playing the high–and–mighty poor gir
Lizetta smiled, “So once I’ve paid back this money, will that mean I’m done with the Dashiell family?
No longer having to carry the heavy burden of gratitude, no longer looked down upon by Hanna every day, deprived of self–respect.
Just as long as she paid back those 3 million dollars, she could finally stand up straight and be
if her own life.
